CORE VALUES
Rooted in Relationships
1Thessalonians 2:8 - Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the Gospel of God but
our lives as well. NIV
At Whiz Kids relationships are the center of every level of the organization.
-
We are rooted in our relationship with Jesus with PRAYER at the center.
-
We are committed to our relationships with each other.
-
We guide our students and volunteers toward authentic relationships, so transformation is possible.
-
We value and nurture our relationships with public schools.
Passionately Curious
1 Corinthians 13:12-13 - For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope and love - yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run. TPT
At Whiz Kids as we start with PRAYER, we are open-palmed and passionately curious about God,
ourselves, each other, our volunteers, our students and their families and our communities.
-
We are lifelong learners, always growing.
-
We are open minded.
-
We respect and celebrate differences.
Humble Collaborators
1 Corinthians 3:7-11 - ...the one who plants is not anybody special, nor the one who waters, for God is the one who brings the supernatural growth. Now, the one who plants and the one who waters are equally important and on the same team, but each will be rewarded for his own work. We are coworkers with God and you are God's cultivated garden, the house he is building. God has given me unique gifts as a skilled master builder who lays a good foundation. Afterword another craftsman comes and builds on it. So builders beware! Let every builder do his work carefully, according to God's standards. For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Jesus Christ. TPT
At Whiz Kids with Christ as our foundation, we humbly collaborate with all people and partnerships
across the organization.
-
We PRAY for wisdom and counsel from the Lord and scripture.
-
We co-labor with each other, honoring our unique giftings.
-
We collaborate with our church partners recognizing that we need each other.
-
We equip our tutors to engage with students and their families as one team.
